Check this out. I have been complaining to my landlord for years about how crappy the air conditioning is in my apartment and they have put forth little to no effort to fix that. So I wrote up a complaint letter on Monday telling them to send a professional out to check on my A/C or I will hire one myself and take it out of my rent. My landlord faxed it up to the management company and they sent someone out to my apartment yesterday and the A/C guy basically told me if I want better air flow then I should close the vents in the bedrooms when I am in the living room and kitchen and vice versa to control the flow of cool air. So basically in other words I have a unit that isn't designed for my three bedroom apartment and since the one and two bedroom apartments have the same unit in their apartments then I am getting a raw deal when it comes to the A/C.

Then today of all things I get an invoice in the mail from the management company. For the A/C? NO!!! I got an invoice for $96.00 because on 6/1/2008 our garbage disposal stopped working and the water in the sink wouldn't drain. So we called maintenance out and he fixed it real quick by unclogging it.

Of course I am going to fax a letter back telling them to go f uck themselves and that I am not paying for them to repair their own amenities. So what if some excess food particles clogged up the disposal. Isn't the purpose of the garbage disposal to break down the food particles? It's not like a foreign material like a spoon, crayon or bones caused the back up. This is obviously a retaliation to my formal and demanding complaint letter, since both my complaint and the date of the garbage disposal invoice is both on 6/24/08.

I am a month to month renter so I fully expect them to try to evict for not paying them to make their own damn repairs.

And as a month to month tenant dont look for them to go to such expense as buying a bigger A/C to satisfy you.
If the building is ay 10 yrs old then the unit has been big enough for all those years tenants why all of a sudden is it to small now?

Your lease may require you to pay for the G/D repair. If not then yes i think they are kindly asking you to leave...

bro,,,, every state is different,,, and has specifc rules, but I can tell you this,,,

as long as the G/D didnt have silverware in it, and it is of NATURAL and NORMAL means that it stopped,, you OWE nothing,,,

now with the AC,,, what is the temp??? 80?? do you have a thermostat that says 72?? if your thermostat says 72, and it hits 80 then they HAVE to FIX IT because it is "BROKEN" and you can substantiate that by asking ANYYYYY AC person,,,,

and this is how you do it,,,

you must go down to the county court house, and be VERY VERY nice, and flirt with the girls,,, they will help you,, if your nic,e,,, remember MOST that come ther are cocksssss,,,, so be nice, and they will prob help you,,,

you need to file a formal complaint, (rules vary from state)

they may want you to give the property 2 weeks to satisfy the problem,,,,

if they dont,, then their will be a PROVISION for you to NOT pay your rent to the OFFICE,,, but PUT the ENTIRE RENT into a bank acount and go see the judge,,, the judge will probably rule in your favor, as long as the above mentioned conditions are normal,, and however LONG it takes for them to put a NEW AC up or whatever, the judge will DECREASE your rent.

my advice is meant to be vague, but it is 99% accurate,, I spent my entire college manageing apartments,, and living there for free,,
